KISS


You ever seen that bell curve meme image?

The one poking fun at people who get overly complicated with whatever they're doing.

This one...

I feel like the older I get, the more I see this play out.

Not long back I was speaking to someone who had the most complex funnel I've ever seen.

They had multiple ads running and multiple tests on each one testing every element they could think of.

Their funnel was primarily video, and they were tracking watch time to set up things like...

  • If they watch 25% then they get this follow-up sequence.
  • If they watch over 50%, they get this sequence
  • If they click on this link, we then send that video

The actual sales mechanism on the back end was complex as hell, multiple touchpoints, follow-ups, and promotions.

And... surprise surprise... they were struggling to understand how to scale things and fill in the gaps that led to lost revenue.

Too much going on and too many points of failure.

On the other had, I've spoken to people who are pulling 7 figures with a simple system of...

FB ads > VSL > Sales sequence > Book a call.

Sometimes, simple scales.

A lot of folk wanna show you how smart they are by simply overcomplicating things.

But it creates too many points of failure making it an unwieldy beast to manage and maintain.

Of course there's nuance in any strategy, but often, keeping it simple is the easiest way to start seeing better results.

Don't overcomplicate things. Instead, look for a direct way of getting your offer in front of your ICP.

Then, do that one thing consistently.

Let's say you've created an asset. Could be... A sales page An ad An email ... or anything that you're gonna use in your biz. How do you know if it's any good? I'll be honest here - YOU don't know. Not for certain. Often, we're too close to the forest to see the trees. You're biased and, what makes sense to you as the creator is completely confusing to anyone else who reads it. The first REAL test most assets get is when you hit publish and drive some real traffic to it. But there's a better...

I'm gonna kick this off by saying that I think Hormozi has shown himself to be a great marketer... ... but recently, some of his advice feels too much like cheap money grabs. I read something the other day around his advice on how to "maximise LTV for recurring fee customers". The advice is completely trash IMO and will do nothing more than ruin your rep. His advice was to add an annual renewal fee onto people's recurring fees. Let's say you run a community like GM+ and your monthly fee is...
